Happy New Moon in Cancer!
And Happy Solar Return to the USA! Looks like a soggy one from where
I'm sitting. Not that I'm surprised. I kind of predicted that last
week. However, within this sog lies wonderful opportunity for
intention setting. It was at this time last year, I threw seeds into
a mud puddle outside my house. It had been raining and raining and I
was like...oh, why not. You know, those seeds grew in a way I never
would have imagined. This year, the ground is more wet and more
fertile which is wonderful for metaphorically planting seeds in your
life. Babies are conceived here. We are a bunch of fertile Myrtles, for sure. Monopolize upon that.
The Moon doesn't stop today.
She is glorified this morning due her New Moon conjunction with the
Sun. But, she stays busy afterward.
Before I get into that,
though, let's take a look at the aspects I've found in assessing our
week to come. Just read them over (note: they are not in
chronological order within this list). Venus square Uranus, Sun
opposite Pluto, Venus trine Chiron, Sun sextile Jupiter, Mercury
conjunct Sun, Mercury trine Neptune, Mercury opposite Pluto, Mercury
sextile Jupiter, Mercury square Uranus, Mercury trine Chiron, New
Moon in Cancer, First Quarter Moon, Moon in Leo, Moon in Virgo, Moon
in Libra.
Holy Cow..or Crab, rather.
Mercury is washed, pressed and hung out to dry on the clothesline
this week. Venus is twitchy and irritable. The Sun excoriated by
Pluto. And then, at the beginning of the next week we are kicked in
the gut by our tenuous First Quarter Moon. Why tenuous? It occurs
from Libra to Cancer at 20 degrees Cardinal. Mmmm...Uranus/Pluto
much? Yeah. It's kind of a big deal. First Quarter Moons often
present a crisis point that is meant to be addressed as the Moon
waxes toward Full. A crisis point that involves
Sun/Moon/Uranus/Pluto? Yeah.
Crunch...bam...boom...WAPOW!
That week prior to the Full Moon? It's going to be popping loose at
the seams. And, that week is fed by what occurs to our mental, solar
and heart bodies THIS week.
Of course the Moon plays a
part. But, she ebbs and wanes and bops along bringing help at times
while also carrying the torch of catalyst. Emotions are likely ALL
OVER the place for a couple of weeks. Go figure that...in Cancer
season.
Back to today, the New Moon
in Cancer doorway opens wide at 7:02 AM occurring on the following
Sabian: 13 CANCER: A hand with prominent thumb is held out
receptively. Strong, active and self-certain will or persistent
yet blind plunging ahead into reality. Freedom from soft illusions.
The Moon remains active
until 2:30 AM EDT. So, if you have not set intentions yet, no
worries. You have all day. And, to be honest, you can set intentions
any dang time you like as long as the Moon is active. Building
intentions for when the Moon is waxing (which it will be for the next
two weeks) and release intentions when the Moon is waning (following
the Full Moon). So, have at it. The ground is rich. Sow away.
Following the New Moon this
morning, the Moon moves on to oppose Pluto at 12:48 PM. Dark,
mysterious. Yearning sets in. Emotional manipulation in an effort to
control is the low end of this energy. Getting your own emotional
body in check and not fearing the depths to which this may take you
is the high end. Paranoia could be a thing as well as greed. However,
deeply inspecting the roots of these less than serving things is
where the gold lies. Why are you so scared? Are you expecting
consequences for something? Are you feeling guilty? Why do you feel
as if you need to control? Why do you feel you will not have
enough...etc, etc, etc.
This pressure does break up
fairly quickly...kind of like a quickly passing but rather severe
thunderstorm right in the middle of the damn day. But, then, the Sun
peeks out to say hello and we might begin to feel a little better as
the Moon sextiles Jupiter at 3:03 PM. This is our reminder to keep it
simple and practical. A little light housekeeping or just taking the
time to sort or organize something in the external world helps to
plunk things back into priority in the emotional body.
At 9:10 PM the Moon is
snuggled up to Venus quite comfortably. Most are home. Even if there
are firework displays that manage to be set off on this muddy 4th
of July, many would rather be nested in their creature comforts most
of the day and especially early tonight.
At midnight, the Moon trines
Mars in Scorpio and we may saunter out of bed for a sneaky little
midnight snack or reach over and nudge our lover out of slumber for a
different kind of midnight snack.
At 2:30 AM the Moon reaches
Void status following an unsettling square with Uranus. We may hear
the ruckus but likely fall quickly back to sleep, if we are lucky.
Underneath this whole
affair, know that Mercury is waxing toward Neptune. This is due to
perfect bright and early tomorrow morning. Information is not as it
appears. Folks may be aiming to deceive or veil information. In some
instances, veils may drop. We may sleep through our alarm. Water and
machinery doesn't mix well...so be wary of hydroplaning when in a
car, beware of distraction during the same, watch and don't drop your
phone in the toilet or dump your ice water on your computer key
board. Other than that, it's a good time for fiction through
entertainment. Just look out for the fish tale someone is trying to
pass off as truth because we are quite gullible under this sky.

The Moon is Void in Cancer
as we wake up this morning. However, we are greeted by the perfection
of Mercury in trine to Neptune at 8:20 AM. It's a good day to be a
duck. Not such a good day to believe everything you hear.
The Moon reactivates in Leo
at 12:29 PM. This should help to dry things out a little...or at the
very least turn the moisture into humidity creating a steam bath type
atmosphere. This permeates through the rest of the day as the Moon
remains without major aspect until the morning. So, we might wake up
confused and misinformed this morning; but, the rest of the day is
earmarked for drying out. The waxing lunar trine with Saturn helps
with this. We finally wash up on a sunny beach after days and days of
water, water everywhere.
Wednesday, July 6, 2016
This morning is much more
grounded than yesterday. We wake up under the stability of a
Moon/Saturn trine at 7:43 AM. The ground emerges under our feet and
we grab traction...finally...for a little bit. There is the matter of
an inconjunct from the Moon to Neptune at 9:34 AM. We might backslide
just a little before we achieve full forward motion.
However, by 4:17 PM Venus
and Mars are locked in a water trine. Let me tell you something. Have
you ever stood between a Cancer heavy person and a Scorpio heavy
person? It's like standing between two magnets. You are lucky if you
don't get squished. The sexual attraction found within this trine is
RIDICULOUS. For real. Mouths water. Loins plump. Whatever makes you
metaphorically erect and burn with desire could become a MUST HAVE IT
RIGHT NOW kind of thing. Easy now. Use this as fuel and inspiration
to move you forward but don't become obsessed with the thing to a
point that your moral compass spins off the map. Focus on it. Take
the steps toward your desire. But, don't let it own you or “inspire”
you to do something under the table in an effort to get what you
want. On a side note, it's great time for some early evening loving.
We are not likely going to
sleep well tonight. And, even IF you are of the lucky few who manages
it your brain is still likely to be spinning while you sleep with
intuitive information storming the dream scape as Mercury in Cancer
meets the Sun by conjunction at 11:24 PM. Have you ever had a brain
freeze after eating ice cream or something cold? Yeah, it could be a
lot like that. Headaches can happen here. Either way, information is
being recorded in the ego system. Doesn't mean that information is
true...so fact check before you swallow. Plus, this information
relates to home, home land, family history, roots, memory and maybe
even diet (bellies are quite the telling place these days). It will
likely be emotionally affective occurring in Cancer. Traverse these
waters carefully. Sun/Mercury can also be accident prone because of
all the swords flying about. More like a bunch of harpoons being shot
into the ocean. So, be careful out there. Remember that intuitive
hits (which are likely during Sun/Mercury in Cancer) often enter the
body through the emotional system and at first feel a lot like
anxiety. Before you rush to the worst conclusion first, ride out the
anxiety and get to place of calm. Then, look over this information
and decide what it is really trying to tell you.
But, yeah, not so conducive
of sleep. It's quite manic and testy, actually.

Today looks...er...crazy.
Frankly.
We start the day with the
Moon in a dissatisfied square to Mars in Scorpio. It's as if she is
saying, “What the Hell Mars? You are direct now. Why am I not
making the progress I feel I should be making?” Well, Mars just
looks back at her and says, “It's not all about YOU, now, is it?”
We are impatient. We do want to move forward. But, Mars is STILL
stuck on that 23rd degree. Sure he is direct. But his pace
isn't kicking just yet. We should still be stretching and slowly
reintroducing activity into our lives. Yet, Uranus keeps poking
us...NOW...NOW...REVOLT! The wise ones ride out that storm and
disallow themselves to be catalyzed into action before they are
ready. But, it's kind of hard to do that today. We want what we want
and we want right now. We are not going to get it and that's going to
be unsettling to some.
When Mercury opposes Pluto
at 7:53 AM we are likely verbally lashing out about it too. Accusing
the Universe of some subservient plot against us. Worried about who
is looking over our shoulder. Keeping secrets tight to our chests.
Look. If you are inclined toward a good espionage story read a book.
The Universe is not out to get you. That revolution you are rooting
for? It needs to occur in your brain and NOW is the perfect time to
kick start it. Face your fears. Face your paranoia. Become less of a
narcissist and realize it really is NOT all about you and what you
want. I know that sounds harsh. But, Pluto and Uranus are not going
to wake you by tickling you with a feather. Release your attachment
to material things and realize where these “things” are owning
you. Develop patience within the process and don't go putting blame
on everything around you for the things you have yet to accomplish.
Let your brain purge but
don't use your mouth as a weapon. Discuss deeper life truths. Let
skeletons fall out of your closet so they can dissipate in the thin
air. Confess. Find the truth. Stand on it strongly and unafraid. It
is what it is and now that you are no longer hiding it, it can stop
searing your brain with fear. Letting loose of attachments to
material is getting ready to receive help. So, go for it.
We wake up spry and ready
for action, though. Electricity is crackling in the air under a Leo
Moon trine with Uranus in Aries at 8:07 AM. We may deliberately break
routine and yearn for new experiences.
By 10:25 AM, Venus has found
Uranus by square and things really start to go boom. If you are too
attached to something it might just blow up. Items are stripped away.
And, we may not be able to make sense of that in the moment. But,
there is good reason for it. However, there is also a good chance of
thievery so make sure you lock your doors and don't leave you purse
or wallet laying out inviting someone to dip into it.
This “under cover” type
thing where folks might steal your stuff is reinforced by a greedy (I
want all the cookies for myself) Sun to Pluto opposition at 6:23 PM.
Yeah. Some folks didn't get yesterday's message. They still want what
they want NOW and engage few to no scruples in getting it. Shady
stuff. But, yet, this is another opportunity to release attachment to
material and bravely face down your fears and paranoia. Just keep
your radar up and watch your back because not everyone is going to
take the high road here. It's a good day for stalkers to re-emerge
which may prompt us to change our routine so that it is not so easy
to predict where we will be. And, trust me, not everyone is in your
life with your best interests in mind. Cut ties with them today.
Severe negative attachments and then go about your merry way. The
more you let loose the more space opens for newer stuff. Potentially
better stuff if you have learned from this experience and changed
your mode of operations accordingly.
There is a chance for some
sneaky sneakiness to go down today within the collective. We are
largely on edge and the heart is anxious. We are getting paranoid
hits for good reason. So mind yourself but also mind your environment
for snakes. They will surely be out slithering about and sunning
themselves today. Temptations will come. I encourage you to stare the
Devil down and let him know, “Nope, not today, dude. You are
totally barking up the wrong tree.” He'll move on to someone else
and good luck to them. No longer your problem. Cut your losses. Re-sharpen your blade and move on.
Following the Moon's dance
with Uranus this morning, she is Void until entering Virgo at 6:42 PM
tonight. She reactivates right after the Sun/Pluto opposition. Virgo
Moon should help us settle some of this and bring it to practical
ground. Eventually.

T-G-I-F, folks. For real.
Yesterday was...likely eventful. Today we are wiser. For better or
for worse. Mercury sextiles Jupiter at 5:06 AM. We are reminded of
what is important and what is true priority. But, our hearts are also
aching under a very hollow very deep Venus/Chiron trine. Mars is
helping. Encouraging us still to actively walk through the stages of
healing. To rebuild. To regenerate. If we can. But, it aches a dull
insatiable pang that can't really fully appreciate the value of the
wisdom and truth being acquired right now.
By early afternoon, the
heaviness of reality and remorse lies solidified upon our shoulders.
The Moon squares Saturn bringing a stark sobriety with it at 3:02 PM.
By 5:11 PM we are tired of trying to hold back the dam. We are
exhausted. Emotional. Sensitive and maybe even a little sick under a
Moon/Neptune opposition. Resting, right here and making self-care a
priority sincerely pays off later. Don't resist. Take a break from
your burdens. Allow yourself time and space to heal.
A regenerative trine with
Pluto at 1:28 AM helps us restore as we sleep. I'm not saying things
will be better tomorrow. I'm saying that with rest and proper care,
you will be more able to deal with them. Whatever it is, chances are
it won't be fixed tonight. So, take this time to prepare and rest.
And, plan.

This morning we wake up
feeling a little better. More well rested. Ready to get down to the
nitty gritty under a Moon/Jupiter conjunction in Virgo at 5:32 AM.
It's important to remember JUPITER IS IN VIRGO these days. He
emphasizes things like humility instead of being grandiose. He
emphasizes the small and minute. He divides and separates. Because,
he is shining a spotlight on ALL of Virgo and what Virgo does. And,
those are things that Virgo does. So, we are not talking about a
Jupiter in Leo Lunar conjunction. Right? It's not this big WHOO HOO
WORLD HERE I AM! BRING IT! Type thing. It's a humble rising. A
grateful rising. A morning best met with prayer or meditation.
Quietly. Humbly greeting the morn type thing.
At 10:19 we gently think
things over during a Lunar sextile to Mercury at 10:19 AM. It feels
like sipping your coffee/tea and reading the newspaper. Leisurely
daring to face what is “news” today and rolling over recent
events in your brain.
By about 4 PM, we are gently
motivated to move around by a Moon/Mars sextile. Yet, as the Moon
opposes Chiron at 7:02 PM we are quickly reminded not to try to take
on too much, too fast, too soon. Then, by nearly midnight, we are
comfortably propped in our beds and calling it another day with a
nice easy sextile between the Moon and Venus. Rest now. We did better
today.
Sunday, July 10, 2016
Better, indeed. Overnight,
the dream scape was likely rich and active. But, many feel better
this morning. Humbled. Gentled. Wiser under a sextile from the Sun in
Cancer to Jupiter in Virgo (1:42 AM). We see and appreciate the more
simple blessings.
The Moon, having reached
Void status after sextile with Venus last night, enters Libra at 4:33
AM. This could prompt us to put on our smiling face to world. It
might not be ok. But, many will be inclined to pretend. Or at least,
fake it til they make it. It's a Libra thing. And, sometimes it
actually works..so.
Our brains are certainly
busy places and we may be zipping about running errands and or
seriously getting down to business in regard to loose ends on the
homefront under a nice water trine between Mercury in Cancer and Mars
in Scorpio (10:01 PM). This energy waxes in all day. Go with the flow
and you just might be surprised how much you can accomplish.
This is a gently social type
of day. You do what needs to be done and exchange niceties along the
way. Thought and action flow in harmony and most really are trying to
be nice. The Sun is shining. And, you are in the mood to let it shine
on your face. In a warm gentle way. Remembering that being able to
lift your face to the sky and feel warmth is a blessing. Cherish it.
